After connecting to the computer, you may also want to:
■
connect a USB cable so you can use the remote control as a
mouse; see page 56
■
connect a monitor to the projector so you can view your
presentation close-up as well as on-screen (not necessary if you’re
using a laptop); see page 57
■
connect an audio cable to play computer audio; see page 65
note
If you connect a Windows-
based computer to the
projector, you may see a
New Hardware Wizard
saying your computer has
found a plug-and-play
monitor; if so, click
Cancel
.
note
If you’re using a PowerBook
or an older Macintosh and
you can’t connect the cable
to your computer, you may
need to use the Macintosh
desktop adapter, as shown
on page 55 (available from
EPSON; see page 14).
